ENCUTGWSOFT = [real] (energy cutoff for response function) 

Default: ENCUTGWSOFT = ENCUTGW[math]\displaystyle{ \times 0.8 }[/math] for ALGO=ACFDT
= ENCUTGW else

Descprition: The flag allows to truncate the Coulomb kernel slowly between the energy specified by ENCUTGWSOFT and ENCUTGW.


This usually leads to much smoother energy-volume curves in AC-FDT and MP2 calculations. The modified Coulomb kernel is in this case: [math]\displaystyle{ v_{\bold{G}} = \frac{4 \pi e^2} {| \bold{G}|^2} \frac{1}{2} \left( 1 + \mathbf{cos} \left( \pi \, \frac{ \frac{\hbar^{2} |\bold{G}|^2 }{2 m_e} - \mathbf{ENCUTGWSOFT}}{ \mathbf{ENCUTGW} - \mathbf{ENCUTGWSOFT}} \right) \right) \qquad \mbox{for} \quad \frac{\hbar^2 |\bold{G}|^2 }{2 m_e} \gt \mathbf{ENCUTGWSOFT} }[/math]
